Oktoberfest & Beer Festivals
Porcelain that survives any festival
The Holst collection for beer tents, large events and every festival table — proven over decades in the toughest continuous use.
Stress-tested — for decades
Munich Oktoberfest, Cannstatter Wasen, Gäubodenfest, Kulmbach Beer Festival, Grenzlandfest: where tens of thousands of steins, plates and tureens pass through service every day, only one thing counts in the end — tableware that lasts. On this page we show the key items that can handle the extreme demands of the beer tent. Not in theory, but proven over decades of real use.
Soup cups & lion's-head tureens in genuine hard porcelain
White sausages, soups, stews, mustard and Obazda — traditionally served from the lion's-head tureen. Where others turn to cheap ceramic or stoneware to cope with breakage and constant use, we make our “SO” range from genuine hard porcelain: a low price and long durability — no contradiction for us.

Plates & platters that withstand the rush
Through the dishwasher hundreds of times a day, hard-pressed during service: main-course plates and platters (25–28 cm) really have to take everything at a festival. For maximum durability, hygiene and resistance to temperature changes we recommend our most robust menu plates from the Holst collection.
Grab it now: the “Ronald” coffee mug
The well-known “Ronald” 0.22 l stacking mug with round handle — secure stacking rim, 0.18 l fill. Now as seconds with minor glaze flaws: perfect for festival coffee, small on price.
On a budget? Catering quality at a small price
For hosts who have to watch the budget: a range of very affordable menu plates and platters (25–28 cm) in solid hotel quality. Not quite as tough as our recommendation above — but reliable, dishwasher-proof catering quality.

Serving & cutting boards in a wood look
Leberkäs, pork knuckle, roast pork, wheels of cheese and bread define the festival menu. If you carve at the buffet or at self-service stations, we recommend our carving and cutting boards in genuine porcelain instead of unhygienic wooden boards or plastic sheets.
Looks like wood — but it's Holst porcelain.

Chicken, pasta & salads
Chicken, pasta, salads and roasts in sauce are among the top sellers on the festival menu — and today a festival absolutely needs vegetarian options. From deep plates and shallow bowls, here are our recommendations.

Careful — hot and greasy!
Packed beer tents get lively. For coffee and tea we recommend the anti-spill mug “Peter”: its upward-tapering shape noticeably reduces spillage — clearly better than any cylindrical mug. And of course Peter stacks.

Fries, wedges & potato wedges
Currywurst with fries isn't one of the classic hearty treats — yet it tops the list of Germany's favourite dishes. That's why practical, attractive bowls for fries and currywurst belong in every festival set-up.
As the inventor of the disposable-look fries bowl — complete with frying basket and fries bag — we offer function and innovation that guests enjoy.
